I love how sometimes i just try and introduce my friends to Kirby lore and when It comes to EVERYTHING they go "you sure this is the game about the Pink ball?"
I mean in this game in particular you fight the master crown that shows similar traits and is possible made of dark matter, that's similar to dark nebula from squeak squad, but dark matter is only a small piece of a hivemind controlled by zero, who was defeated and reincarnated as zero two, oh but zero is a reincarnation of void born with negative emotions similar to how kirby is void's reincarnation with positive emotions, oh did i forget to mention miracle matter? hold on imma need a corkboard and some red string.
@@The_Pikaboi actually no they arent. The Sphere Doomers are just a subspecies of the Doomer aliens that have been influenced by the Master Crown to fuck Magolor's shit up, including stealing his Energy Spheres and Fruit shards
@@CassiusStelar "Halcandra stands alone, only reachable by passing through other dimensions... The Doomers, long ago, had a different form and could warp space and time... Is that why they seek the spheres?"
I find it pretty easy to complete most of them. It's mainly the last few collectables or challenges that require some retries. But I've completed 4 games so far at 100% completion regardless of that. That said, maybe this one will be the toughest entry to complete. I'm just hesitant to buy it since I played this game when I was young. Not keen on buying it again for the new magolor stages.
“I was starting to get confused with all of the ‘lore’ happening in a Kirby game!” You’d be shocked at how deep the lore goes if you look at it for any longer than five minutes ;w;
How many mainstream games are there? There is that plus 1 since the ball games are spin-offs and involve the monsters of Drawcia and Dark Crafter, which offset Kirby’s Dream Land not having a monstrous final boss.
I actually did 100% the original Return to Dream Land way back when, but that is NOTHING compared to what Deluxe apparently expects for a full completion. Incredibly, Jirard doing a maximum completion (going beyond the game's definition of 100%) of the game is only the second-most impressive accomplishment in this video because FOR THE LOVE OF KIRBY HE GOT FIRST PLACE IN THE SAMURAI KIRBY BATTLE ROYALE MODE WITH A TIME OF ZERO! WHAT THE HELL DID THE OTHER 99 KIRBYS DO TO YOU?!
I'm starting to wonder if I can do this... I can't even beat the normal Samurai thing on Master lol, I cannot seem to hit below 17 and usually hit 19-20 :/
Kirby is the definition of "Easy to pick up, difficult to master." Most of his games always seem to have an absurd amount of content and even make completionists sweat a bit. That said, it's always a fun journey
classic kirby was one of the best side scrollers of the time, especially because the timing/strategy was different due to the physics. It created its own space in side scrolling, hard to do.
@@Poever Not really. Jirard even states that Kirby games have always been one of the most accessible platformers out there. The thing about Kirby games is that they've always had a low skill floor, but a high skill ceiling-- meaning that just about anyone can finish the game but it takes quite a bit more to complete it. That's always been a hallmark of Kirby games. That being said, it honestly sounds like this one has a ceiling that's a bit higher-- if not the highest, of the franchise.
@@dallaynavokan5513 wouldn't be surprised if this level of completion difficulty becomes the standard for Kirby games moving forward. I'm fine with that myself though!
@@Dr.Gamboa his job is reviewing games after doing everything possible to tell people accurately about the absolute full game and its content. I would also say it's unnecessary at times from a casual perspective but it is the reason people watch him
@Alec Gamboa when it comes to games completion is subjective to the one doing the task. Sure he didn't have to do that because it earned him nothing. However to him it wouldn't be complete till he had those platinum
100% isn't a number on the screen. 100% is something you feel inside of you. Feeling of you doing everything, completing the game. Doing everything, so nothing is left to do. Whatever the game thinks is required is forgotten by real completionists. So yeah. Completing the game and getting 100% on your savefile are different. That's my opinion at least
If Jirard really wanted to suffer more with Copy Challenges, he should've also done the ones in the 20th Anniversary Dream Collection. Hahaha..ha....ha.... *I still have the nightmares*
I actually wanna see him do that. Now that he's done Return to Dreamland, he should do the Dream Collection. I saw he has an original copy in the background in the intro. That is one of the best kirby games out there, so I would like it a lot if he could review it.
Took me 3 1/2 hours to get the perfect on Egg Catcher ALONE yesterday. Then like another 2 hours for getting a perfect run on level 3 of Magolor’s tour. I don’t care if it was easy for most people, that was possibly the hardest thing I’ve ever done in a Kirby game, egg catcher alone
@@PoketronPokey404 I do. I was trying to get the perfect for a video anyway, but at some point it was taking so long I was willing to settle for just 28, but I got the perfect run when I actually completed the mission so I got lucky haha
One of the joys of completion for me has always been, in part, being able to take your time with it. You really put yourself through it doing this channel and taking all of it on with such tight deadlines. Rest well, m'dude.
As much as I loved forgotten land I really did love getting to go back and play this game again in a fresh coat of paint. This made me realise just how much I love this game and how I don’t ever want 2D kirby to go away. I can’t wait to see what they do with the next 3D Kirby game but I hope the two can continue to coexist together
@@nobodyhereisnamedalized Why? All the NSMB games are good, just a little samey when you look at them all. But if you're not playing them back to back then all of them are decent or even great games.
@@mysticdigital5936 My point was in fact that they are "samey". Technically all these releases are _ports/remasters_ of the same game with new characters(Luigi U is just master mode imo). 2D Kirby has kept moving forward since the Wii with many different releases and where's 2D Mario now? Oh we just have New Super Mario Bros. 2 for the 3DS. I just want something to refresh 2D Mario games is all.
Magalor’s move set being taken from star allies for the epilogue is really cool to me as if you played that game and learned his move set then you will understand how he plays in the epilogue already
Kirby games always have a way to make them harder than it should seem at first, and some kind of eldrich horror final boss isn't entirely out of the question.
I think the reason Magoland specifies that it's a "different time" is because it's heavily implied that that the mode takes place on modern day (AKA: after Forgotten Land).
Return to Dreamland was the first game I ever thought I completed. When i put it down, my save file said 110%. Im not sure if that's even true completion for that game- but this was a nice reminder of the game I used to play with all my friends.
I didn't think it would be too too much to complete the game until I felt a storm of emotions hit me when Extra Mode unlocked. Its more Kirby, its harder Kirby, but its also the same game all over that I need to get the collectibles for again, AND it counts towards total completion%.
I want a video that is just all of the completionist openings ever made with like creator commentary after each one. It's nuts how much the opening has changed over the years.
A common theme of kirby is that it's easy to beat the main story, but there's always something that makes one hundred percenting it hard. I'm glad you had fun!
20:44-20:50 Well, Magalor was first playable in star allies. And in that game, he has a similar moveset in Kirby’s Return To Dream Land Deluxe, so its not an entirely new moveset. But both in both games, his moveset is based on his bossfight (like other playable bosses in star allies), so you got that one correct...
Personally I'd consider completing with gold medals to be 100%, and platinum medals to be 103% (1% for each mode that features medals) but big respect for going that extra mile for our viewing pleasure
The funny thing is, I was going through my back catalog of games, and completed the original version of this game on the Wii not that long ago. The next day, they announced the Switch version.
I love Kirby very much but I think if I tried to go above the 100% with all 120 missions and platinuming the copy ability challenges I would be crying in the corner for years. So good on you for actually doing that I hope you're able to get some good rest after all that kirbin
I love the variety of masks that Kirby and the gang can wear. Not only do we get masks of fan favorite side characters like Adeleine, Gooey, and the Animal Friends, but we also got masks of Susie in a weekend outfit, and a female spider resembling Tarazna named "Old Friend." The latter is especially interesting since she's definitely Queen Sectonia, before her unfortunate downfall into The Vain Villain of Triple Deluxe.
Always good to see another Kirby video here. Not too surprised that completing this was quite the challenge, hopefully Jirard tackles something easier next.
I also am completing this game, and honestly, it's not that bad so far. I completed story mode, magoland and magolor's epilogue so far. The only thing left are the EX challenges and the two arenas. And yes, I'm doing all platinum. Update: It's done. Hardest bit was the EX versions on sand and mecha challenges, the rest was pretty easy.
As someone who’s trying to complete this game as well it’s kind of encouraging in a messed up way that even THE completionest was struggling with The insane ability stages.
What I did for the Kirby samurai mission was to play in handheld and use headphones at max volume. It reduces the input delay over using a tv and reacting with sound is faster than with sight. I was able to more consistently beat the samurai challenges with that.
I didn't even consider looking at this game, until I watched the video. Now, I can't wait to get the physical copy and go for the 100% myself. Thank you so much 😊
I remember when I played the game on the Wii the first time, I didn't like it. I didn't dislike it either, it just kinda came and went. A few months later, I dug it back out to complete Extra Mode and I loved it! I really don't know what happened originally, wrong game at the wrong time maybe.
I remember playing the epilogue and being so happy to find the hal room, mostly because it was hidden in a spot that I KNEW contained some secret but I guess the room didn’t let me go in until I beat the main mode, because I returned to the same area and all of a sudden in let me in. Low key one of the best moments for me in this game
@@skx444 opinions are often wrong. But kirby having nothing but good games? That's a fact. They're all fun to play, and they all offer different levels of quality. But none of if is bad.
@@bestaround3323 That’s what I saying! I mean, it may not be the most funnest thing but still, the love that was put to make Kirby Star Allies is criminally overlooked.
Nintendo: Hey, we just got done remaking this Kirby game! Jirard: Awesome, it should be pretty easy to complete, right? Nintendo: ... Jirard: Your silence is not encouraging.
Kirby games are why I became a completionist from a kid. I love completing kirby games. They start simple and easy but the end 100% is always the peak of these games. It's not super easy either. They always have some new boss, form or other fun craziness. Return to dreamland was nice to recomplete after playing the easier forgotten land and star allies.
Kirby’s return to dreamland was my first Kirby game. Back then, I didn’t care about unlocking additional levels or anything. Now, this video makes me contemplate wether I should stay the same.
A part of me is sad that he didn't mention the endings to Magolor Epilogue and the True Arena....but perhaps those are secrets best kept for the completionists out there to discover for themselves.
You're totally right that this game is awesome both in multiplayer and solo. I played through the original with a friend as Meta Knight, and I played the remake by myself, and absolutely loved it both times.
thanks for playing! as a longtime and hardcore fan of the series it was a joy to see you experience it. edit: I HAD NO CLUE THERE WERE AN EXTRA 20 MAGOLAND CHALLENGES.
also! to add on to your tidbit during the magolor epilogue: magolor has been playable before in star allies! and alot of the moves are similar to his moveset there, but you can upgrade them further.
Just 100%ed the game yesterday, and I wonder what he's even referring to. If it's the extra magoland challenges, those aren't required for a 100% save file. And you absolutely don't need platinum medals either. The fact that there isn't a reward for getting platinum is actually very important, because if there was then people would be pressured to actually do it.
Cant tell you how wonderful it is to hear such child like wonder from the mind of someone so chill and mature. I wish I could say I had the latter myself but at 40something its validating to know I'm not just a massive kid for still loving games as much as you do ❤ (Yeah I probably need to work on the skill too...)
I completed the whole demo. Here are the requirements for a 100% run. 1:finish all levels beat wispy woods on EX and get all the spheres. 2:Get all the masks and do all the merry magoland minigames on all difficulties and do all quests. 3:beat wispy woods with all copy abilities. 4:do all levels and wispy woods with no copy abilities. THESE CHALLENGES WILL ENTERTAIN YOU UNTIL YOU GET THE FULL GAME.
By the way, you can sort of cheese the Samurai Kirby 100 challenges by playing in offline mode, its considerably easier, I got in 5th place on first try.
I cant in good faith agree when you said "Kirby is going through a Renaissance" because: 1) Kirby has always been the GOAT; & 2) ever since the original Return to Dreamland came out we've had Triple Deluxe, Planet Robobot, Star Allies, & Forgotten Land... and that's not counting all the fun side games!
A Platinum Kirby mask would've been such a clever reward for the challenges! At the same time, that would mean that you need to platinum all the challenges to get all the masks...
This isn’t really related to Kirby, but this is the first video of yours I’ve seen and I loved it! It may be less than half an hour long, it felt longer and I thoroughly enjoyed the whole thing! Just wanted to say good work on the video!
I didn't go for Platinum with the challenges, so I guessed I only "finished it". I enjoyed the whole process of reaching 100% (including a complete jukebox), but it certainly took quite a dedicated chunk of time. The final egg catcher mission (28+/30 eggs) was very difficult for me, and it was annoying to do the challenges a second time (even though I didn't try to platinum them, I can't imagine what that would be like)
I'm am beyond thrilled to finally have this game on Switch! Thank you! I can't help but dream of playing other older Kirby games. The Switch is Touch screen after all.
man i completed this game in about 35 hours, i had SUCH a great time. those missions in magoland were tough though. Im glad kirby continues to have a challenge for all kinds of players
I just fully completed the Magolor Epilogue mode (cleared every stage with at least a Gold medal, including the Extra stage, plus fully maxing out Magolor's abilities and visiting the HAL room) today, so I'm finally finding time to dive into this video! My playthrough started earlier this week, and I *thankfully* blasted through all of Merry Magoland's 120 missions on the very first day. I played the original game back when it released and I smashed the absolute hell out of the main story and arena, so all that's left to do is the Extra mode and True Arena. For anyone that's worried about Merry Magoland's Extra Missions, they are *not* required for the listed 100% completion for the save file, but rather "true" 100% completion. The same goes for the copy ability challenges on the Lor Starcutter; you only have to beat them, your ranking doesn't count towards completion. For the Arena and True Arena, you only have to beat them once, repeated playthroughs of those modes with different copy abilities don't count towards completion. The Magolor Epilogue, too. The game only requires you to get at least a Gold medal on all stages and to complete the Extra stage for completion, Platinum medals aren't necessary for the completionist process if you don't want to go for it. My tip for the Arena and True Arena modes? Leaf Kirby or Rock Kirby. The invincibility frames are *beyond* helpful! For most of the Merry Magoland challenges, you can cheese them with multiple controllers!
20:45 I'm guessing that you don't remember Magalor being Playable in Star Allies. What is neat is going through his Epilogue you EARN the Moves that he had/will have in that game. Even neater is that the Final Boss takes place in the Forgotten Land.
I love how he got all platinum medals needlessly but didn’t complete the jukebox and thus never met the requirements for what the game considers a true 100%
In Europe the original was released as “Kirby’s Adventure Wii”, which I thought was a pretty lame title at the time. Now they have at least adopted the US’s name so it’s finally standardised across both regions.
Most Kirby game plots: "Something from outer space spills Kirby's ice cream or lemonade. Things escalate until Kirby prevents or becomes the end of the universe."
You can actually earn the Samurai Kirby 100 mission where you need to place in the top 20 in the offline mode that you do after you do your record attempt for the day. So you don't need to get lucky, you just need to grind until your reaction speed is good enough.

I would like to take the time to appreciate the work you did/do for all your subscribers and fans. The job you undertake is a grueling one 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
As someone who’s trying to complete this game as well it’s kind of encouraging in a messed up way that even THE completionest was struggling with The insane ability stages.
I hope you're feeling better, gamers need our thumbs.
What I did for the Kirby samurai mission was to play in handheld and use headphones at max volume. It reduces the input delay over using a tv and reacting with sound is faster than with sight. I was able to more consistently beat the samurai challenges with that.
I didn't even consider looking at this game, until I watched the video. Now, I can't wait to get the physical copy and go for the 100% myself. Thank you so much 😊
Voice being more calm makes me feel calm as well. Good going Jirard.
Great video!

im diggin the new format of giving the rating and then explaining why its is complete it or why its not. nice to mix things up a bit
Everytime you were pleading for Kirby to spare you, I could only imagine him looking at you inquisitively and saying "Poyo?"
I remember when I played the game on the Wii the first time, I didn't like it. I didn't dislike it either, it just kinda came and went. A few months later, I dug it back out to complete Extra Mode and I loved it! I really don't know what happened originally, wrong game at the wrong time maybe.
this game was so much better than i expected. good vid. amazing how a good night sleep reticulates the blinds
12:40 I don’t think it means a different canon per say, but rather it’s saying that this is after forgotten land and so on
I remember playing the epilogue and being so happy to find the hal room, mostly because it was hidden in a spot that I KNEW contained some secret but I guess the room didn’t let me go in until I beat the main mode, because I returned to the same area and all of a sudden in let me in. Low key one of the best moments for me in this game
I've always said that there is no such thing as a bad Kirby game
Squeak squad?
@@skx444 Compared to other entries in the series? Yes, but on its own it's still enjoyable to a degree and very replayable.
@@skx444 what's wrong with you?
@@neintimesthegeek1337 I have an opinion you don't like about a video game
@@skx444 opinions are often wrong.
But kirby having nothing but good games? That's a fact.
They're all fun to play, and they all offer different levels of quality.
But none of if is bad.
This really makes me hope that Squeak Squad gets an update like this. Its one of the first games I ever played and did 100% for.
magalors extra level is actually almost every another dimension segment from the main kirby adventure but now as magalor and with some added parts
Don’t tell this man about Kirby Star Allies and how you need to play Guest Star over 30 times.
And people complained about it not having enough to do /s
@@bestaround3323 That’s what I saying! I mean, it may not be the most funnest thing but still, the love that was put to make Kirby Star Allies is criminally overlooked.
Nintendo: Hey, we just got done remaking this Kirby game!
Jirard: Awesome, it should be pretty easy to complete, right?
Nintendo: ...
Jirard: Your silence is not encouraging.
*dev maniacally laughing in the corner*
17:02 Jirard unlocks Ultra Instinct by playing a Kirby game.
Kirby games are why I became a completionist from a kid. I love completing kirby games. They start simple and easy but the end 100% is always the peak of these games. It's not super easy either. They always have some new boss, form or other fun craziness. Return to dreamland was nice to recomplete after playing the easier forgotten land and star allies.
you know kirby has deep lore if the game specifically tells you this side mode has a different canon to avoid overspeculation in the wrong direction.
I dunno why they did that because you can see the location in the background of the main game. Which would imply it exists in the same canon.
Kirby’s return to dreamland was my first Kirby game. Back then, I didn’t care about unlocking additional levels or anything. Now, this video makes me contemplate wether I should stay the same.
A part of me is sad that he didn't mention the endings to Magolor Epilogue and the True Arena....but perhaps those are secrets best kept for the completionists out there to discover for themselves.
You're totally right that this game is awesome both in multiplayer and solo. I played through the original with a friend as Meta Knight, and I played the remake by myself, and absolutely loved it both times.
thanks for playing! as a longtime and hardcore fan of the series it was a joy to see you experience it.
edit: I HAD NO CLUE THERE WERE AN EXTRA 20 MAGOLAND CHALLENGES.
also! to add on to your tidbit during the magolor epilogue: magolor has been playable before in star allies! and alot of the moves are similar to his moveset there, but you can upgrade them further.
Just 100%ed the game yesterday, and I wonder what he's even referring to. If it's the extra magoland challenges, those aren't required for a 100% save file. And you absolutely don't need platinum medals either. The fact that there isn't a reward for getting platinum is actually very important, because if there was then people would be pressured to actually do it.
0:35" Kirby is generally known for its happy chill vibes"
Me: "I thought it was known for the Nightmare creatures at the end of the games"
Cant tell you how wonderful it is to hear such child like wonder from the mind of someone so chill and mature.
I wish I could say I had the latter myself but at 40something its validating to know I'm not just a massive kid for still loving games as much as you do ❤
(Yeah I probably need to work on the skill too...)
I completed the whole demo.
Here are the requirements for a 100% run.
1:finish all levels beat wispy woods on EX and get all the spheres.
2:Get all the masks and do all the merry magoland minigames on all difficulties and do all quests.
3:beat wispy woods with all copy abilities.
4:do all levels and wispy woods with no copy abilities.
THESE CHALLENGES WILL ENTERTAIN YOU UNTIL YOU GET THE FULL GAME.
Why are the last two things even nessesary?
@@lpfan4491 I call these last 2 things HARDKIRB MODE.
(Wispy woods with all copy abilities is an optional mission)
When I unlocked the extra 20 missions I was like ok I need to see Completionist do this.
Looks like a cool game to buy for my kids and I. Thanks for completing it for me 😂
"kirby is a easy game"
-no one that played more than the main story of kirby games
By the way, you can sort of cheese the Samurai Kirby 100 challenges by playing in offline mode, its considerably easier, I got in 5th place on first try.
I cant in good faith agree when you said "Kirby is going through a Renaissance" because: 1) Kirby has always been the GOAT; & 2) ever since the original Return to Dreamland came out we've had Triple Deluxe, Planet Robobot, Star Allies, & Forgotten Land... and that's not counting all the fun side games!
A Platinum Kirby mask would've been such a clever reward for the challenges! At the same time, that would mean that you need to platinum all the challenges to get all the masks...
I love this Kirby game!
This isn’t really related to Kirby, but this is the first video of yours I’ve seen and I loved it! It may be less than half an hour long, it felt longer and I thoroughly enjoyed the whole thing!
Just wanted to say good work on the video!
21:37 Surprised that fully restoring his powers didn't repair his outfit.
I didn't go for Platinum with the challenges, so I guessed I only "finished it". I enjoyed the whole process of reaching 100% (including a complete jukebox), but it certainly took quite a dedicated chunk of time. The final egg catcher mission (28+/30 eggs) was very difficult for me, and it was annoying to do the challenges a second time (even though I didn't try to platinum them, I can't imagine what that would be like)
I still love that intro.
I'm am beyond thrilled to finally have this game on Switch! Thank you!
I can't help but dream of playing other older Kirby games. The Switch is Touch screen after all.
Hi The Completionist I love this and I hope you have a good day and you are awesome
man i completed this game in about 35 hours, i had SUCH a great time. those missions in magoland were tough though. Im glad kirby continues to have a challenge for all kinds of players
…….why Im not surprised that it’ll be a KIRBY GAME that would almost break Jirard? Still, great to know this game is still phenomenal! 😅
Jirard: Kirby, your challenges are ruining my life! How could you do this to me!?
Kirby: *poyo!* ●‿●
The journey is the reward for completing it. I loved doung so!
I just fully completed the Magolor Epilogue mode (cleared every stage with at least a Gold medal, including the Extra stage, plus fully maxing out Magolor's abilities and visiting the HAL room) today, so I'm finally finding time to dive into this video! My playthrough started earlier this week, and I *thankfully* blasted through all of Merry Magoland's 120 missions on the very first day. I played the original game back when it released and I smashed the absolute hell out of the main story and arena, so all that's left to do is the Extra mode and True Arena.
For anyone that's worried about Merry Magoland's Extra Missions, they are *not* required for the listed 100% completion for the save file, but rather "true" 100% completion. The same goes for the copy ability challenges on the Lor Starcutter; you only have to beat them, your ranking doesn't count towards completion. For the Arena and True Arena, you only have to beat them once, repeated playthroughs of those modes with different copy abilities don't count towards completion. The Magolor Epilogue, too. The game only requires you to get at least a Gold medal on all stages and to complete the Extra stage for completion, Platinum medals aren't necessary for the completionist process if you don't want to go for it.
My tip for the Arena and True Arena modes? Leaf Kirby or Rock Kirby. The invincibility frames are *beyond* helpful! For most of the Merry Magoland challenges, you can cheese them with multiple controllers!
Good video Jirard! Nice little watch on my Sunday afternoon ^_^
Kirby lore is like the abyss. The moment you start staring at it, it starts staring back.
20:45 I'm guessing that you don't remember Magalor being Playable in Star Allies. What is neat is going through his Epilogue you EARN the Moves that he had/will have in that game. Even neater is that the Final Boss takes place in the Forgotten Land.
My right thumb crying out for mercy as I once again tilt the right stick up to assert my dominance over whispy woods
12:50 you joke about the lore, but it is surprisingly deep and sometimes dark
Kirby games: always simple to play, always difficult to complete
I love how he got all platinum medals needlessly but didn’t complete the jukebox and thus never met the requirements for what the game considers a true 100%
In Europe the original was released as “Kirby’s Adventure Wii”, which I thought was a pretty lame title at the time. Now they have at least adopted the US’s name so it’s finally standardised across both regions.
It was semi-standardized with japan tho where it is still called Kirby Wii.
Most Kirby game plots: "Something from outer space spills Kirby's ice cream or lemonade. Things escalate until Kirby prevents or becomes the end of the universe."
You can actually earn the Samurai Kirby 100 mission where you need to place in the top 20 in the offline mode that you do after you do your record attempt for the day. So you don't need to get lucky, you just need to grind until your reaction speed is good enough.
Completing the game too, like I did with every Kirby game.
But those Magoland extra missions are the bane of my existence.
This game is so cute and I'm having so much fun!
I still can't get over those god damn true extra missions.
